i.Scribe is a useful email client utility that allows you to send and receive emails.
i.Scribe is a remarkably compact email program with an easy to use interface and many features, including a split view of folders and items, signatures, drag and drop, spell checking as well as an internal address book and calendar.
i.Scribe is a small and fast email client that lets you send, receive and manage email without fuss. The user interface is familiar and easy to use. The major internet protocols for email are supported: POP3, [E]SMTP, MIME, IMAP4 (fetch only), MAPI (fetch, win32) and viewing of HTML mail. Also included is an integrated Contact database and Calendar.
Additional features include plug-in support, proxy support, ESMTP authentication, message templates and more. A very capable little email program with a ton of features. To further extend the functionality, i.Scribe also supports plug-ins. Supports POP3, IMAP and SMTP.
Features :
- Small
Scribe is quite small, around 500K to download. And even when downloaded takes up very little of your hard disk or memory while running. You can easily use Scribe from a floppy disk. The usually memory footprint is about 3-4 MB with a reasonable sized mail folder loaded. Great for those older machines that dont have gobs of RAM and HD.
- Fast
Startup and shutdown are very quick. Typically taking only a second or two. Mail sends and receives go as fast as your net connection allows. No needless waiting around for things to happen (like Outlook). Because Scribe uses a flexible flat file format for mail storage you can move email with huge attachments around with no effort at all, unlike some email clients that have to copy the entire email, including attachment to another file on disk causing unnecessary waiting for the user.
- Easy
Scribe comes totally self contained. Once you unzip the distribution file scribe is installed. Theres no dlls left lying around or registry settings to worry about. All the data and settings for scribe are stored in its directory. And when you delete that directory you dont have to worry about cleaning up after Scribe.
- Cross-platform
Scribe runs in Windows and Linux. Allowing users to maintain all their email and contacts in one place. Run the version of scribe for the OS your running and access the email received in another OS. There is a legacy BeOS version that may be able to read/write to a Scribe mail folder.
- Free
i.Scribe is free for everyone to use. No time limits, no nagging shareware banners or number of trials. Use it to your hearts content. But for those who want more features and would like to support me in producing this software there is a commercial version, with extra features, called InScribe.
- Up To Date
Ive been releasing updates about once a month since the start of 1999. People email bug reports and feature requests in to me and where possible they get incorperated into an update. Releases are tagged "stable" or "unstable" to help you to pick a version suitable for your purposes. The unstable builds are public betas for experienced users to test.
- Multi-language
Scribe can be translated into any language. Here is some information about translating the user interface text into another language.
- Expandable
Scribe has a plugin interface that allows people to expand the capabilities of the application. If anyone is interested in writing a plugin I can send you the libraries and documentation to do so. So far you can write plugins for 3rd party MIME type viewers, directory services and text handling utilities. In the future Scribe will support plugins for mail source/sink and mail storage. Which will mean that the very core of Scribe will be open to new ways of receiving, sending and storing email.
- Safe
Scribe is not vunerable to email virus like Klex because the HTML support is not provided by Internet Explorer but by a build in HTML control that has no scripting and no execute capability. The attachment list wont hide the real extension of a file either, which typically used by virus to trick the user into openning an executable when the user thought it was a document. And if a virus does get in through by some other means, it wont be able to find your address book thus prevently it from mailing itself to all your contacts.

Bootpart 2.60
BootPart is a tool for adding partitions in the WinNT/2K/XP multi boot menu more>>
Bootpart is compatible with Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. BOOTPART lets you add partitions in the Windows NT/2K/XP Multiboot menu. Usually, you only have an MSDOS or Windows 95 entry and one (or several) entries on the Windows NT multiboot.
With BOOTPART, you can add any partition on the menu. You can add OS/2 Multiboot, or Linux Partition (with Lilo) in the menu. You can also restore the Dos, Windows 95/98/Me or NT Bootloader boot sector on Fat partition.
BOOTPART creates a 512 bytes file which contains an image of a boot sector that loads the boot sector of the partition. After, this file is declared in C:BOOT.INI (a text file used by Windows NT boot menu). The boot sector comes from FDFormat and WinImage.
Repairing the Windows NT/2k/XP boot sector on a Fat partition
Windows NT installs a boot sector that launches NTLDR and displays the Windows NT boot menu. If you lose this boot sector, BootPart can restore it.
Boot under MS-Dos (this can be a copy of MS-Dos 6.22 on your hard disk, on a MS-Dos bootable floppy, or the "MS-Dos 7.0" included in Windows 95 (you can obtain it by pressing Shift+F5 when Win95 loads). Then, enter the command :
BOOTPART WINNT BOOT:C:
If you want to remove the WinNT boot sector, you can replace it with the command "BOOTPART DOS622 BOOT:C:" or "BOOTPART WIN95 BOOT:C:"
How to have both MS-Dos 6.22 and Windows 95 in the NT menu (forget F4 !)
The standard situation for a computer that multiboots to Windows NT, Windows 95, or MS-Dos 6.22 is : the user selects a "Windows 95" entry in NT menu, and, then must press F4 if he wants to boot MS-Dos 6.22. If you dont have this situation (i.e. : you dont have both Win95 and MS-Dos 6.22 on your system, but want to have both), see the next section.
Just enter these BootPart commands :
BOOTPART DOS622 C:BOOTSECT.622 "MS-Dos 6.22"
BOOTPART WIN95 C:BOOTSECT.W95 "Windows 95"
BOOTPART REWRITEROOT:C:
The last line (REWRITEROOT:C:) MUST BE EXECUTED UNDER MSDOS, and moves the MS-Dos IO.* and MSDOS.* files to the beginning of the root directory, which is required for successful operation.
You may visit the page : http://www.bcpl.net/~dbryan/directboot.html for obtaining more information on triple booting WinNT/Win95/DOS.
If you have WinNT & Win95 and you only want to add MS-Dos
Take an MSDos 6.22 floppy, copy the files IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, and COMMAND.COM to C: as IO.DOS, MSDOS.DOS, and COMMAND.DOS (warning : these files may be hidden, but you can tweak some settings to make File Manager or Explorer to make them display hidden files). Then follow the instructions in the section section "How to have both MS-Dos 6.22 and Windows 95 in the NT menu"
If you have WinNT & MS-Dos and you only want to add Win95
Install Win95 in a new directory (start the install under MS-Dos 6.22 or Windows 3.1) and then follow the instructions in the section "How to have both MS-Dos 6.22 and Windows 95 in the NT menu"
How to add OS/2
Unfortunately, I cant directly add an OS/2 partition by itself (if you have a workaround or fix, Id be happy to hear about it !). Install the OS/2 Boot Manager (you need 1 MB free on your first hard disk), add the OS/2 partition in the boot menu with automatic startup (0 seconds wait time), and then add the OS/2 Boot Manager partition to your NT menu with BootPart. Sometimes, when you install the OS/2 Boot Manager, it becomes the active partition of your first hard disk. You can use FDISK to set the partition with NT boot manager as the active partition later.
How to add Linux
For Linux, you must install Lilo at the beginning of the Linux partition (as is the case with the OS/2 boot manager) and then add the Linux partition with BootPart:
When you install Linux or run liloconfig, select "Superblock of the root linux partition" as the location for Lilo. On my own Linux box, this added the line "boot=/dev/sdb4" into the file /etc/lilo.conf
If you want mount your NTFS partition under Linux, visit the NTFS for Linux page.
For more info about mutlibooting, you may take a look at http://www.bcpl.net/~dbryan/directboot.html or at a modified version. There is also a tutorial to use NT loader to boot into BeOs.
There are also several interesting HowTo articles on this subject. Look at NT OS Loader + Linux mini-HOWTO. There is also another howto here.
Microsoft has also several KB article about the boot process : Q102873 describes Boot.ini, Q289022 describe how modify Boot.ini, Q101787 describes the boot process itself.
Enhancements:
- repair Windows NT loader boot sector on Fat partition (but Bootpart cannot the repair under Windows NT/2K/XP),
- easily add both MS-Dos 6.22 and Windows 95 in boot menu,
- support FAT32 and disk over 4 GB, and LBA addressing.

VideoLAN Client is a multi-platform multimedia player.
It can read DVDs, VCDs, MPEG, and DivX files and from a satellite card.
It can also read a stream from a network sent by the VideoLAN Server or another source.
The stream can be MPEG 2 TS in UDP or HTTP packets unicasted or multicasted on an IPv4 or IPv6 network.
Notes:
- DVD decryption is done through the libdvdcss library.
- DVD navigation is done through the libdvdplay library.
- supported CPU extensions are MMX, MMXEXT, SSE and 3D Now! on x86 processors, and AltiVec on G4 processors.
- the OpenBSD 2.9 default assembler does not support MMX.
- VLC for GNU/Linux supports two kinds of MPEG-2 encoding cards: Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-250/350 and Visiontech Kfir.
- VLC on GNU/Linux, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows has playback control support via libcdio and libvcdinfo. On other platforms SVCD support varies depending on the availability of these libraries. (Volunteers for adding support is always welcome.). Handling still frames (often used in menus) and switching between different video formats is a problem.
- Full color for YUV-type chromas is not handled, only the gray-scale value. Subtitle transparency is not fully supported for all chromas. Some chromas are not handled at all.
- CDDB information provided by libcddb via libcdio. Support is available on those platforms both of these libraries are available. libcddb runs on BeOS although libcdio doesnt. On Microsoft Windows, libcddb doesnt compile yet using without POSIX emulation.
